KE4RX/r 147.015MHz (+) is back on it’s tower
After a few years of tower work, while the antenna was on about a 20 foot mast, our repeater is back up and operating off it’s tower. There were several club members who showed up to help put the tower back up.
Join us on 147.015 for the Monday night net at 8:00pm and let us know how the repeater is working for you. For more information, email Cliff Segar kd4gt@ke4rx.org
Everyone is Welcome…
Let us welcome you and your family to come visit us for Field Day 2009!
It is our biggest annual event, held the 4th full weekend in June every year. It’s an emergency training event and has a contesting element thrown in. Groups all across the country will begin setting up their equipment “in the field”, or a location you normally wouldn’t find an amateur station, at 10am eastern time. They have 4 hours to finish and start operating at 2pm eastern time.
They operate for 24 hours straight. The emergency part is to see how quickly they can set up a working station in a not-normal location. The contest part is to see how many contacts can be made in the 24 hour period using this make shift station.
We welcome you to come by and see what we do. We will be setting up at Fort Southwest Point in Kingston. It’s June 27 and 28. Setup will be from 10am to 2pm on the 27th. Operations will be from 2pm on the 27th to 2pm on the 28th.
Hope to see you there!
AT FIRST THIS PAGE HAD INCORRECT DATES FOR FIELD DAY. IT IS ACTUALLY JUNE 27 AND JUNE 28.
